,4*. D. Cimum. the newly ap- C
p?nted Yepresentative of the %
regional coal committee for C
South f?&rmina, states that while ^
the coal situation continues to ?
improve, practically all re- 7
atrietions having been removed, 7
be desires to urge the continued 7
economy in the use of coal. !j
Kit is a known fact throughout ;
the State that coal dealers have J
only a limited supply on hand, V
if any, and there is no guarantee V
that there will not be a repe- C
tition of what was experienced (
in the winter of 1917. He esti- t
mates that conditions will not (
reach near normal until all coal ^
equipment now in the Southeast f
is released, sent to the mines, *
and returned under load. On *
account of the approaching holidays
and the congested con- *
I :
unions ot the railroads, he tig- ures
thi* will take iron: 15 to
20 days.
Wheat Acreage Reduced.
Winter wheat acreage this fall
shows a heavy decrease, compared
with that planted a year
ago, the department of agri- 1
culture's first estimate of the
area, issued Monday, placing it
at 38,770.000 acres, which is
11,719.000 acres, or 23.2 per 'v
cent less than 1918 sowings, o
Last year's acreage was a record ?
one in response to government n
requests and because of the d
guaranteed price for wheat. n
This year's acreage, however, (
is the fourth largest ever plant- ?

No estimate of winter wheat
production is made by the gov- n
, eminent until spring, but the a
condition of the crop on Decern- f
her 1 was four points lower than t(
the ten-year average and 13 t
points below last year's Decen.- f
